How Could the Moon Generate a Magnetic Field?

The Earth's magnetic field is powered by an internal dynamo at the core of the planet. At the very centre of the Earth is a very hot, solid, iron core that is surrounded by an outer liquid iron region. The heat from the inner core drives convection in the outer core (hot parts of the liquid rise, cool parts fall). All the while, the core is rotating. Since the liquid outer core is a conductor, the motions of rotation and convection generates a magnetic field. The Moon has no such magnetic field

NASA recently released a more in-depth look at its missions beyond low-Earth orbit. The whole vision is being dubbed the 'Journey to Mars:' a 2 phase program designed to step further and further way from Earth. The first phase will place a space station in lunar orbit. The second phase will see humans launching off to the red planet.

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to venture into space. At just after 9 am local time at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Gagarin launched into low earth orbit, completed a full orbit in 108 minutes, and returned safely. This achievement not only firmly set the Soviet Union has the leader in space technology at the time, but marked the beginning of the human exploration of space. Internationally, April 12 is now "Yuri's Night," an evening of celebration meant to

Looking at Earth at Night

Profile picture for user Jesse Rogerson

Apr 21, 2017
NASA has released new composite images of the Earth at night. The images were all taken with the VIIRS instrument aboard the Suomi NPP satellite (an imager that orbits around Earth's poles). While the images are breathtaking, I'm more excited for what's coming next: later this year, NASA will be releasing DAILY data dumps from the night lights project. Meaning... scientists/anyone will be able to study the light/energy uses around the globe on a daily basis. I love data.
